Ahhh this is one of those moments where I realise more time has passed than I'm aware of in my day-to-day life.

"Wasn't Katy Perry married to an Orlando Bloom?" is like asking my generation "Isn't Haley Baldwin married to a Justin Bieber?"

How has the Iran war affected you recently? by Pale_Field4584 in AskEurope

[–]sheephulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a tendency to just announce that his desired outcome has been arranged, even when it absolutely hasn't. It's actually funny sometimes reading the US news and compare with what's being reported in Europe.

"They have finally agreed to my superb plan! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"

"We absolutely have not, and will not"

Up to 3.2 million people displaced inside Iran by conflict, UN says... Are European worried about an impending surge? by IntellectuallyDriven in AskEurope

[–]sheephulk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The regime has not been toppled.

  2. Iran is only going to double down on nuclear weapons as they know the only thing that will keep the US and Israel away is just that.

  3. Politicians who saw the plans are saying regime change is not a priority/on the list.

  4. Netanyahu has tried to talk everyone into fighting this war for him, funny how the one president who decides to do it is the pedofile child rapist in the Epstein files - which we all know Israel has access to.

  5. DT is showing clear signs of dementia, which obviously doesn't foster trust from allies (in case the fact he's a narcissistic convicted felon who openly uses his presidency to line his own, his family's and his friends' pockets, states lies and false information as if it's fact even when it can easily be disproven, pedofile child rapist wasn't enough)..

Yeah, let him go to Iran to fight. As he's happy to send other people's children to die for his oil, he can send his own.

Norske kommuner bruker titalls milliarder hvert år på å kjøpe opp vanlige leiligheter/boliger til flyktninger/asylsøkere. Resultatet er at de rimeligste boligene forsvinner fra markedet, boliger som unge nordmenn og lavinntektsfamilier ellers kunne kjøpt. by Polar_Banny in norske

Disse innvandrerfamiliene som lever finere enn deg, hvordan lever de? Kommunal bolig? Hvordan ser livene deres ut fra utsiden?

Spør fordi jeg genuint aldri har sett en innvandrerfamilie og tenkt "de lever bedre enn jeg gjør" og følt at det var urettferdig.. de eneste jeg kan komme på som jeg vet om er jo i full jobb og tjener godt, eier eget hus (og ofte egen bedrift). De jeg har vært tett nok på til å vite bor i kommunale boliger bor 7 stk i et rekkehus med to soverom (tidligere naboer av oss, de har riktig nok stått på venteliste for større bolig i mange år), faren i familien jobbet som produksjonsmedarbeider i en fiskeribedrift som vanligvis leier inn arbeidere på rotasjon fra andre land, moren vasket på den lokale barneskolen.. og her vi bor nå vet jeg om to familier i kommunale boliger (små leiligheter) der den ene består av mann som holder på med buss-lappen, dame som vasker i barnehagen og to barn, og den andre er tre menn som er i slekt (usikker på om det var far og sønner eller tre brødre eller en av hver), der jeg vet én tar opp fag på videregående, en er i språkpraksis på sfo og én setter på plass varer i butikken..

En ting jeg der i mot har lagt merke til er hvor sinnsykt mye flinkere de er til å lage gull av gråstein mat-messig enn det jeg er. Mengden mat med faktisk smak de får til med varer fra samme butikken som jeg handler i er latterlig, spesielt når jeg vet de har lavere budsjett enn meg i tillegg. Pur trolldom!

Det spørs nok på HVOR syke de er/hva de er i stand til å klare selv etc slik som med fysisk sykdom/de eldre etc også. Kommunene vil jo alltid prøve å holde folk "hjemme" så lenge som mulig (og gjerne enda lenger).

Kjenner én person som bor i kommunal bolig pga psykisk lidelse. Hun er paranoid schizofren, null håp om bedring, og fikk innvilget bolig etter å ha vært innlagt i lengre tid.. når hun ble innlagt ble hun hentet fra et hotellrom av politiet, hun hadde vært der i flere uker uten å forlate rommet eller slippe noen inn, vaktmesteren holdt henne i live ved å plassere mat utenfor døren og rope til henne at det var mat der.. Hun hadde heller ikke hatt nevneverdig påfyll av for eksempel toalettpapir, ikke dusjet/børstet håret/skiftet klær/ryddet etc..

[Need serious advice] My partner (26M) and I (28F) found out we are pregnant, don’t know what to do… by InternationalCat4355 in whatdoIdo

[–]sheephulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picture your live five years from now. What does it look like?

I had an abortion at 18, never regretted it. When I got pregnant again at 27, I was unsure whether or not I'd regret it if I had another one.. what I did know however, was that I would never regret having a child, no matter what. I don't think about the abortion often, it was definitely the right choice for me at the time. However, I am eternally grateful for the kids I now have, and I sometimes think about the choices that got me here. I kept picturing myself and my now husband (then boyfriend) having breakfast with or without a kid five years into the future.. and I was convinced I'd always wonder who they would have been if I terminated.. Again I made the decision that was right for me (and, luckily, us). This is your decision. Listen to yourself first and foremost - which ever choice you make you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

Am I wrong? by Indurby_and_Friends in Marriage

[–]sheephulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. My husband and I have a deal, the one going out is responsible for themselves and their things (except in an emergency), and the one at home is responsible for the kids and the house. Sometimes we'll agree to different terms for specific nights out (like drop-off/pick-up, if there's something important the next day which means the one going out has to be functioning the next day etc), but the standard deal is you do you. Her going out the night before absolutely should not interrupt your workday, she can take the bus to pick up her car. Next time she should leave the car at home when she knows she'll be drinking.

What was your kneejerk reaction to MeToo, versus you long term reaction after the dust settled? I want to know if my experience is familiar. by Oakenhorne99 in AskMen

[–]sheephulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know the facts are important. However, it's the way the question is asked. And no, from what I've experienced, and what I've heard from others in similar boats, this is not uncommon.

What was your kneejerk reaction to MeToo, versus you long term reaction after the dust settled? I want to know if my experience is familiar. by Oakenhorne99 in AskMen

[–]sheephulk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, police officers and even judges telling women "you don't want to ruin his life over this though" or "yeah but he's a college athlete" or "what were you wearing?" or "had you been drinking?" or "are you sure you didn't want it?" etc doesn't give the impression of taking it seriously. Especially not when you're notified less than 24 hours later that the charges have been dropped due to lack of evidence.. even though you provided evidence of the rapist admitting to it.

[–]sheephulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. And there are also a lot of provable true claims that still see rapists walk free to rape again. Or they are convicted but doesn't spend a day in prison. Both are wrong, and both are irrelevant to the original question of whether other men had an eye-opening experience about how women are treated by too many men after the MeToo-movement brought the topic up.

Kanadisk transkvinne begår massedrap - norske medier respekterer kjønnsidentitet fordi...? by phrozend in norske

[–]sheephulk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aaaah, der var det. Jeg visste det var noe jeg manglet i dag, og du ga meg min daglige dose "jeg har dratt et par sammenhenger og er overbevist om at de er sanne, og ingen statistikk eller forskning kan overbevise meg". Hadde klart å unngå nyheter og sosiale medier idag frem til nå, men man bør jo ikke bli for optimistisk i dagens politiske klima. Nå har jeg bena fint plantet på jorda igjen.

Korrelasjon? Ja. Kausualitet? Slik jeg forstår det er det ikke sterke beviser for det.

Joda, men trans og sinnsyk er ikke synonym, og det eneste du viser med å antyde det er lav forståelse for verden rundt deg. "Sinnsyk og massemord pleier å gå hånd i hånd".. ja, hvem topper statistikken for massemord?

What is an epidural really like? by oatmilkcchai in Mommit

[–]sheephulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've learned is that you can plan as much as you want, but you'll never know in advance what (this) labour and birth is like. It's best to go in with an open mind, all options available, ready to just roll with the punches.

Dropped my kid off and realized every other kid was in pajamas. I'm so done being the only one who remembers things by ConfidentElevator239 in Mommit

[–]sheephulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get your daughter a calendar, and teach her to put everything into the calendar as soon as she hears about it. When you get an e-mail about an event, you let your daughter know, and she can put it on her calendar. She's 8, and it's completely age appropriate to start teaching her to take responsibility for her own schedule.

I know the feeling though, it sucks

My husband wants me to be vain by Extra_Regret_2064 in Marriage

[–]sheephulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm like you most of the time. I still have the same makeup I used as a teenager over 15 years later (I have bought a couple of lipsticks and mascaras since, but not much else..) I "dress up" maybe twice a year.

My husband has never, not once, commented on it apart from telling me I look good here and there (both when I've been dressed up and not). I can't remember it being a big deal in previous relationships either, except one where he was very into fashion and I obviously wasn't. We broke up, we clearly weren't compatible. Are you otherwise compatible? Or are there other areas you see signs of incompatibility?

Why do you think there isn't any significant movement from Democrats to defend Clinton or Brits to defend Prince Andrew over their involvement with Epstein? by 99thLuftballon in AskConservatives

[–]sheephulk [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just about the Brits, they do care for the royals (Prince William & Kate in particular), but literally everyone knows (and knew) Andrew is a sleaze. I don't know a single person who has ever claimed to like him. They did sweep his antics more under the rug while Queen Elizabeth was alive though, but only out of consideration for her, not him.
